Lodge Cast Iron 12" Charcoal Camping Round Kickoff Grill

At first, I was not sure what the Lodge 12 Cast Iron Kickoff Grill was exactly. Now that I have one, I am glad that I do. My husband and I have recently begun to camp more often and this item comes in very handy and is much more compact that a traditional small charcoal grill. The grill is two pieces. The bottom is the base with short legs. It has a lip around the edge so that you can add the charcoal. Light the charcoal and layer the base. Then add the top cover which is the grilling area. It has grates which are great for juices to flow and also so that you get those great grill marks on the food you are cooking. The grill also comes with handles so that you can move the top part on and off as needed when it is hot. I have found that this is much nicer to use then the offered grills at a camp ground. The quality is great. The product is real cast iron that has already been seasoned and is pretty heavy. The grill is fairly easy to clean once it cools off. Overall this is a great item to have for camping if you like the charcoal taste. It does not take up too much space and it does not take much to clean up. I really love this grill as I have found that I am very happy with most products that I own made by Lodge.
